MICHAEL WINGARD: ACCORDING TO WJACTV.COM, SOMERSET MAN ARRESTED IN CONNECTION WITH THE DEATH OF A 10-MONTH-OLD INFANT WITH A SUBDURAL HEMATOMA TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BRAIN
— 8/08/2017

Somerset, PA – A Somerset couple have been arrested in connection with the death of an 10-month-old infant girl in April.

Somerset County officials said during a news conference Tuesday afternoon that Michael Wingard, 31, and Angalina Miller, 28, are facing charges of aggravated assault, endangering the welfare of a child and recklessly endangering another person.

Officials also said additional charges could be filed, including criminal homicide, after the girl's autopsy report is returned by the Allegheny County Medical Examiner’s Office.

Arianna Miller died from a traumatic brain injury on April 14 at Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC after being taken there four days earlier.

According to a news release, Somerset police said they responded to a ChildLine report of alleged physical abuse against the infant. Miller took her daughter to Somerset Hospital on April 9, where medical personnel found her to be unresponsive and unconscious, but breathing.

The infant was diagnosed with a subdural hematoma to the right side of the brain and was transferred to Pittsburgh.

Officials determined that Miler and Wingard, who was not the infant's father, were in full custody of Arianna from April 5 to April 10.

Police said a friend who visited the apartment told Miller and Wingard that Arianna appeared to be limp and lifeless in her Pack ‘n Play and that they should seek medical help for her.

At that point, officials said Miller and Wingard had not sought help for the infant.

"We believe the injury was inflicted by one or by both," Somerset County District Attorney Lisa Lazzari-Strasiser said at the news conference.

Miller and WIngard were arraigned Tuesday morning and are in the Somerset County Jail in lieu of $100,000 bond each.

Arrest or booked: An arrest is the act of depriving a person of his or her liberty usually in relation to the purported investigation or prevention of crime and presenting (the arrestee) to a procedure as part of the criminal justice system. The term is Anglo-Norman in origin and is related to the French word arrêt, meaning "stop".

The question whether the person is under arrest or not depends not on the legality of the arrest, but on whether the person has been deprived of personal liberty of movement. Including but not limited to; a traffic stop, citation issuance or initial investigation of alleged crime scene.
